What the Solar Eclipse Can Teach You About Making Money on YouTube
A week ago I was reminded of an important YouTube lesson...
On April 8th the world witnessed an amazing solar eclipse
About 5 hours from where I live was coined “the best spot in North America” to see this monumental event
And while staring at the sun is cool (even if you look like a dork with those glasses)
There is something much, much cooler
What’s cool is that not only did this opportunity allow for the experiencing of an amazing astrological event
But it also made people $1,000s
No, I don’t mean the people selling the glasses
I mean YouTube channels…
Numerous space and sci-fi channels were covering the event weeks in advance
Leveraging the hype to print money
Now, I know what you’re thinking “but Adam, I don’t have a space channel, how does this help me?”
Because you too can capitalize on trending events to grow and monetize your channel as I teach inside Tube Academy
For example, my student used the spike in interest in the female basketball player Caitlin Clark to spike their views by 79%
With multiple videos reaching nearly 100,000 views within 1-3 days…
To summarize, the Solar Eclipse taught us two things:
1. I look pretty handsome in solar eclipse glasses
2. Leveraging trending topics can make you $1,000s on YouTube
If you want to work with me to build your channel and turn it into a part-time or full-time income, reply the word “Tube Academy” to this email and I’ll send you the details!
Reminder: I am opening up only a select amount of spots for April so entry is on a first come, first serve basis
Talk tomorrow!
